Profile of Chamfer Help

I would either measure a cone with two circle paths, or maybe get a little fancy and
create two 2d curves in the cone and recall those points into a free form surface.
Do you have curve?

Both the cone and the FFS can then be pulled into the surface profile characteristic
for evaluation. With no datum reference they want only form.

Clark is definitely correct, however I don't think you can choose "no datum reference frame" for a cone only for FFS Free Form Surface.

Think of it as cylindrical for a cylinder, but for a cone instead. (conicity).

Good luck, and happy measuring!

I agree with Clarke, cone.
Or if you have FF you can take a circular section(s) that go thru the chamfer and create some free form scans out of that.

I had issues with the profile of a plane and contacted one of the Application Engineers at Zeiss. He suggested that since the profile didn't have a datum reference to put the plane itself 3x for the datums. This worked for the plane very well but have not had any success with the profile of the chamfer.

Wasn't there discussion about building alignment based on the feature ? That way you could use the secondary alignment option.

I think it should be. It's useless anyways. The profile of .001" would limit it to about ± .3 ° with perfect roundness. If my math is correct..

I have curve option but I don't have free form surface it is always deactivated,separate licence calls for free from surface in addition to curve??
3D curve and free form surface are same??.

I do not know when you purchased the license for your CMM, but when we upgraded our Planner with Curves-Free Form Surface it came as a package and I believe cost $6900.00 US.
Is it possible the license is not Activated? Check this under Extras>Settings>Miscellaneous>Licenses. Here is were you can check to see if it is activated. Note you must me logged in as Master to make changes. 333_aa3693fd38532b05d82e1cfaaa9bd7ed.jpg

My goodness you have almost everything to your calypso,I don't have free form, simulation, navigator,planner.. Your machine is very advanced...

Try with points cloud, the limitation is that probably you don't have the profile characteristic available but you could report the max / min deviation.
